Farhan, our programmer did an awesome job though considering how late we came up with the mechanics for the gameplay. He probably only had 30 something hours (including sleep) to implement pretty much the whole thing. So while it's not the most dynamic thing ever, we're still really proud of the work that went into it.\r\r- Dylan"},{"author_name":"aberdeenphoenix","author_uid":"54767","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 5:21am","epoch":1440566160,"text":"Man, this is beautiful and really well thought out.

Eventually we started to settle on different variations of this final micro-organism idea, but it wasn't until about 40 hours in until we completely fleshed it all out. After we had our plan we worked very intensely for the rest of the time and we just barely squeezed everything in by the deadline (somehow). It was a rough process but we're both extremely proud of how far it came along in such little amount of time.","title":"Interloper"}
